The executive editorial board of the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and 37 Circulatory Physiology (AJP-Heart and Circ) continually looks for ways to better serve our 38 scientific community. This sentiment is shared by the Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors of 39 the other American Physiological Society (APS) Publications and by the APS Publications team. 40 Over the past six months, this collective group has reviewed the article types currently offered 41 by APS Publications and has made updates to freshen up what we offer to our authors and 42 readers. The purpose of this editorial is to inform authors, reviewers, and readers on the recent 43 changes made to our article type portfolio. The primary changes are the renaming of the Rapid 44 Report to Short Report and renaming Innovative Methodology to Methods and Resources. The 45 full article types available with a description of each type are listed in Table 1. We also 46 encourage authors to consult the Information for Authors for APS Publications as a helpful 47 resource in preparing a submission.(1) 48Short Report (formerly Rapid Report). Previously, the Rapid Report was limited to 49 submissions that presented research data with high innovation and potentially high impact, 50 packaged in a limited word count and figure format. The goal was to communicate early findings 51 to build momentum for promising concepts. We found that authors and reviewers alike were not 52 well calibrated as to what high innovation and high impact meant, and our editorial team found it 53 difficult to handle this manuscript type due to the lack of clarity for expectations. We found 54 authors, reviewers, and editors were left wanting a better alternative. The need for our authors 55 to report early findings coincides with an evolution in science communication and knowledge 56 mobilization that has heralded an era of online pre-prints, hybrid conferences, podcasts, and 57 digital media. 58
